You might find your teeth to be sore and biting pressure for three to five days after the braces are on.

This irritation can be managed easily with the medications given by your orthodontists.

Braces would need some time to adjust, so after some time, you will not feel the discomfort at all. The time for which you would have to wear braces might depend from one person to another, depending on their oral conditions. Usually, once the braces are on, they remain there for at least two to three years.
Age and Braces
